The team of beauty queen hairstylists at our Stoke Bishop and Patchway hair salons are still recovering after an amazing Miss Bristol 2017 competition.

After selling out for the Miss Bristol event on Sunday 09th April at The Mercure Grand hotel in central Bristol, our Creative Directors helped to host more than 180 guests for the annual beauty queen contest.

Contestants took part in various rounds, including Evening Wear, Little Black Dress and Eco Dress. The overall theme of the evening was West End Shows, with fantastic hairstylists from regional hair salons creating looks.

Studio One from Gloucester created looks to mirror The Lion King, whilst Cohesion from Bristol opted to create looks from Phantom of the Opera, and our very own fashion hairstylists in Bristol at Stages Hair Design went for the pink ladies from Grease. These avant garde hairdressing examples were well received on the night.

With competition hotter than ever this year, there were 14 girls going for the Miss Bristol crown, and the lucky winner was 20-year-old Gina Underhill, a Bristolian who lives and works in the city.

Gina also won the Eco Dress round as seen above, with an incredible creation devised and delivered from putting together drink straws, to incredible effect. The Miss Bristol competition is one of the few in the UK retaining the Eco Dress round.

Gina will now be competing in the Miss England 2017 contest on 12-14th July in Birmingham, and we’re wishing her the very best of luck.

To find out more about the hair colouring services we offer at both of our Bristol hair salons, please get in touch here.

Both Bristol hair salons at Stages Hair Design are pleased and proud to announce that we’ll be sponsoring the upcoming Miss England 2017 event.

As leading fashion and beauty pageant hair stylists in Bristol, we’ve worked with many beauty queens and Miss England title holders in the past – including Kirsty Heslewood, the Miss England 2013, as pictured below with a set of hair extensions applied and fitted by our hair extension experts in 2016.

Kirsty remains one of our long-standing hair extension clients, and is a firm friend to the Creative Directors. Her charitable work is also outstanding – find out more about Kirsty here.

As well as sponsoring this year’s Miss England competition – find out more about the event here we’ll be judging the Most Beautiful Hair competition part of the contest on 14th July.

The event will be held at the Resort World part of the Birmingham NEC, and promises to be one of the most celebrated beauty queen competitions of the entire year ahead. We can’t wait to get involved again, particularly as we also manage and organise the annual Miss Bristol event every year.

As an extra bonus, and because we’re leading hair extensionists in Bristol, this year’s new Miss England will also get a full head of Gold Class hair extensions from us fitted for free – worth £1,500 at competition level.

Patchway Salon

Testimonials

This is the most understated salon in Bristol.

From the minute you walk in, the down to earth atmosphere and lovely staff quickly put you at ease;but that’s just to start. The technical ability of the artists is first class! Taking my hair from a deep black to ombre (caramel,honeys and blonde) in just one appointment. Prior to this many salons advised they couldn’t/wouldn’t do it! I am so happy with the results. The costs are extremely reasonable and worth every penny! In addition I was given so many great tips on haircare, tips you would only get from an artist that’s worked on the very highest of celebrities (although their humbleness wouldnt allow them to tell you that of their own accord!!) I am a client for life!

As a more mature client I am very pleased with how natural my Gold extensions look and feel. They dry and style easily and day to day management is just a good brush a few times a day. I believe this is down to the quality of the hair itself as well as the expert work of my stylist, Jade. Previous extensions took considerably longer to dry. A result of being more porous I’m told. They also took a lot of straightening if I wanted to achieve that look. With these I just set them on really large rollers and when I take them out the hair is smooth and sleek and bouncy. Less heat means that my natural hair is less stressed.
I have had many compliments on how good my hair looks now. My friends are genuinely amazed when I reveal how it’s achieved. They would never have suspected had I not told them.

I want to say a Big thanks to Simon who transformed my colour from a bottle blonde to something that now looks just as blonde but natural and an awesome cut from Richard. I said I was a salon butterfly, now I found somewhere to settle into. I feel I’ve known you for ages even after 1 visit.

Just to say, that after I’d undergone some chemotherapy and lost all my hair, I was pleased to have your recomendation to use Nioxin treatment during the time my hair was regrowing. I was even more pleased with the results and many of my friends remarked on how healthy my hair looked. Thank you. It was such a relief to have my hair back and to know it looked so good again.:-)
